- By now most Americans are well aware of the potentially fatal combination
- of drinking and driving. An estimated 70 percent of Americans drink alcohol,
- but strict Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) laws and public campaigns by such
- groups as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) have cautioned all to quaff
- only soft drinks if driving later on is in the picture.
- Holiday revelries can sometimes unhitch caution from the wagon. To help
- people better understand the risk involved and where those most at risk can
- turn for help, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's free pamphlet "Alcohol
- and Health" offers excellent guidelines.
- One of MetLife's Stay Well series of pamphlets it provides information on
- "Moderate Drinking and Problem Drinking", "What Are the Warning Signs of
- Alcoholism", as well as "What Are the Physical Effects of Alcoholism". In
- addition, there is a comprehensive list of organizations and services that
- provide the help so necessary to those with a drinking problem. But the first
- step may be up to family and friends, and obtaining this booklet can be the
- beginning of a solution.
- Single copies are available free of charge upon request when accompanied
- by a stamped self addressed 8 1/2 x 11 envelope. Mail you request to Alcohol
- and Safety, Health and Safety Education, Area 16-UV, Metropolitan Life
- Insurance Company, One Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010.
